﻿Bonjour everyone! As the title of my post may have given away, today is the day of the Audubon Park Bastille Day festival! Though in true American fashion, for us it's really just a day to celebrate and have some fun in our little community, this festival has been a pretty big to-do around here for a few years now. The entire neighborhood participates, there are crepe breakfasts, French wine and cheese pairing classes, all of the shops are giving away French champagne and featuring French themed merchandise, there is even baguette fencing and Marie Antoinette impersonators (complete with guillotine! yipes!). It's definitely a fun, event filled day! ﻿

This afternoon at Redlight Redlight, an awesome and super well-known (and most importantly, a solid twenty-step walk from my front door! such convenience!) craft beer bar will be hosting the Rogue Rogue Market from 4:00 - 7:00 which will be offering an extensive list of French libations available for your enjoyment and is also allowing for a few vendors to set up shop inside as well! Obviously, myself being one of them but also be on the lookout for:

The Re-Up Cycle which creates a host of items, from succulent planters to jewelry, created from recycled materials.

Bamapana Vintage which offers pristine, authentic men's vintage clothing. SO many dapper items to choose from. More gents should definitely be taking a page from their look book!

My Lou Jewels who offers amazing handmade modern heirloom jewelry. I am definitely going to be scooping something up from them this evening!

Blue Betty which is another local clothing/accessories retailer specializing in recycled and vintage materials and she also has her own Shasta mobile boutique! I should totally pick her brain on this giant, Shasta-sized undertaking I have signed myself up for haha

I know there will be more vendors than that (so sorry if I missed someone) that I am super excited to meet as well! In the meantime, I figured some super saucy vintage French fashion might be JUST the thing to get everyone inspired and excited for this evening! Enjoy!
